Heating elements are reformed as hand-tools to melt polystyrene blocks into furniture-like shapes. With each memory of movement captured, the ‘Polysword’ freely allows one to extrude and carve outcomes in minutes.

The Polysword converts electricity into heat through resistive heating. Each Polysword operates at 13 amps, 240 volts, 3120 watts, and temperatures can reach above 700°C. A thermocouple and controller are used to maintain constant temperature, the expanded polystyrene has a density of 22g/ltr.

I turn myself inside out – by eating 35mm photographic film. The bumps, scratches and marks left on the damaged emulsion were examined through a scanning electron microscope. In collaboration with Luke Evans.
